  2. Insertion sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insertion_sort

    The best case input is an array that is already sorted. In this case insertion sort has a linear running time (i.e., O(n)).During each iteration, the first remaining element of the input is only compared with the right-most element of the sorted subsection of the array.

  3. Dynamic array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_array

    The elements of the dynamic array are stored contiguously at the start of the underlying array, and the remaining positions towards the end of the underlying array are reserved, or unused. Elements can be added at the end of a dynamic array in constant time by using the reserved space, until this space is completely consumed. When all space is ...

  4. Binary heap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_heap

    [6] [7] The heap array is assumed to have its first element at index 1. // Push a new item to a (max) heap and then extract the root of the resulting heap. // heap: an array representing the heap, indexed at 1 // item: an element to insert // Returns the greater of the two between item and the root of heap.

  5. Sorting algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithm

    It works by taking elements from the list one by one and inserting them in their correct position into a new sorted list similar to how one puts money in their wallet. [22] In arrays, the new list and the remaining elements can share the array's space, but insertion is expensive, requiring shifting all following elements over by one.

  6. Linked list - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linked_list

    The principal benefit of a linked list over a conventional array is that the list elements can be easily inserted or removed without reallocation or reorganization of the entire structure because the data items do not need to be stored contiguously in memory or on disk, while restructuring an array at run-time is a much more expensive operation ...

  7. Merge-insertion sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merge-insertion_sort

    Insert at the start of the element that was paired with the first and smallest element of . Insert the remaining ⌈ n / 2 ⌉ − 1 {\displaystyle \lceil n/2\rceil -1} elements of X ∖ S {\displaystyle X\setminus S} into S {\displaystyle S} , one at a time, with a specially chosen insertion ordering described below.

  8. Comparison of programming languages (associative array)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_programming...

    The user can search for elements in an associative array, and delete elements from the array. The following shows how multi-dimensional associative arrays can be simulated in standard AWK using concatenation and the built-in string-separator variable SUBSEP:

  9. Double-ended queue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-ended_queue

    The dynamic array approach uses a variant of a dynamic array that can grow from both ends, sometimes called array deques. These array deques have all the properties of a dynamic array, such as constant-time random access , good locality of reference , and inefficient insertion/removal in the middle, with the addition of amortized constant-time ...
